A Bit OF War History From Charles
ton.

No one has as vet turned up to
claim the old silver that was found il.
the cistern on the premises of the
Bank of Charleston several days ago,
saws The Ners. and the two men,
Neville aud Mccartney, are still held
in jail for an examination, which will
probably be held tomorrow.
The matter was very generally dis
cussed on the streets yesterday. Many
persons think that the silver was
placed in the cistern by thieves, who
were. perhaps, hotly pursued at the
time. and who have never found it
convenient to return for the plumber.
Others say that it was probably
placed there by the owner OF some in
terested person to save it from con.
fiscatiop. One gentleman said that
the silver was placed there during tie
war, and that the owner or
person who placed it there was SUBJ
sequently killed or died before having
time to reveal the secret.
IL have no doubt" he continued,
'sthat much gold and silver is buried
all over the south under Just such
circumstances, and to supper, the
plausibilitY of his statement lie told
how he had saved his family silver.
lie was in the army, as OF course
was every other man in Charleston
who was capable of shouldering a
musket. and was at home on a short
furlough just before the evacuation of
the city. Seeing that the city could
not hold out long he determined to
make an effort to save his family
silver. He built, himself, strong
box out of pine. in which he packed
all his valuables aud then secured the
box with several iron bands. Next he
purchased plain coffin and placed
the box in it. so arranging it that it
could not move. The coffin was then
screwed down securely and taken te
the Northeastern railroad depot. At
. that time it was common thing to
meet people on the trains in charge of
the bodies of relatives who had either
died in camp, on the battlefield, or in
the hospital.
He had some difficulty in getting
transportation, as the trains were all
crowded; but finally succeeded in get
ting the coffin on dat car. It was
marked s'head and foot" as was
usual at that time. In reply to the
objection of the railroad authorities
that there was no room for the sup
posed corpse save on platform car,
where it would be exposed, he replied
that that would be of no consequence;
it was important to get the coffin to
Monck's Corner at once so that it
might be buried.
The train finally reached Monck's
Corner. He secured wagon and two
negroes helped him to take the casket
to the graveyard. where it was buried.
No one knew the place of burial save
himself and those who assisted at the
burial, and these latter thought they
were bnrying corpse. After having
done this: the gentleman returned to
duty, aud served until the surrender.
Had he been killed. the silver would
probably have remained buried TO this
day. After the return OF peace. he
went TO Monck's Corner and tiisiu-
TERED his valuable coffin, and so
saved his silver.

What a Fetch is.

1t is much harder to explain the
nature of tie fetch, for the negro him
self is not clear on the subject. |
therefore fail back on my authorities,
HubhexSehleiden and Max Muller.
The former says that fetichism is not
proper designation for religion, for
Judaism and Christianity have their
tctiches as well as the Nature-religions;
the word should be used as analogous
with i wnrd-symbol or emblem, as
Max Muller has shown. If we should
say that the cross is the fetch of
Christianity, some persons would think
we were guilty of blasphemy. but they
would be only those who have no real
conception of what a fetch is. The
phrase is really as far from blasphemy
as science is from idle chattering. The
confusion of the emblem with the
thought represented, of the material
with the spiritual. of the visible with
the invisible. is not religion, but super
stit;on, whether it be the worship of
fetiches OF of relics, idOlatry or the
alteration of saints. Max Muller says:
we may fancy ourselves secure
against the feticll-worship of the poor
negro, but there are few if any among
us who have not their fetch or idol,
either in their church or their heart.
The negro's religion is not belief in the
power of the fetch, but belief in the
power of the spirit through which the
fetch is of effect"
One important thought is not
peculiar to fetich-faith, but is mixed
with the religions of most people; but
the negro suffers more than any other
man from the fear of ghosts. I'm the
foaming water, in the dazzling light
ming, in the murmuring wind, he sees
the working of self-existing spiritual
beings. And why should we deprive an
anxious human heart of the comforting
faith that piece of hide or a dried
snake-head carefully wrapped up and
worn about the body can protect him?'

Gex.ers In Iceland.

The Rev. Mr.. Metcalf, in his book
on Iceland, gives an account OF the
geysers of that country, and adds an
explanation of their occurrence which
is worthy of notice, says the YOutRs
Conapanion He pitched his tent with

but as that was only bubbling and
boiling, without an explosion to send
up a column of water, he removed to
a smaller spring the Strokr.

Great Geyser, and, although it has 70

pretty well understood. The pipe,

like the shutting of safety-ya!ye; the
steam has not proper vent; it collects

great deep until they are charged to

Catching an Owl.

The Danbury Nesos tells how Tommy
Connell, aged IA caught an owl, and
what came of il:
While at work he CHANGED to glance
up in the peak of the barn, and there
he saw sitting on one of the plates a
hoot-owl. Now, Tommy knew it from
hearsay that owls can not see in the
daytime. So here was some fun to
break the monotony in catching him
and having bird in Il cage. Nimbly
as d squirrel Tommy assembled to
within reach of the bird. He reached
out his hand and caught him. In
bringing him down the owl came in
too close proximity to his face, and
with one claw made dash at him.
The talons caught in the corner of his
right eye and almost completely tore
off the lower lid. Tommy dropped the
bird like hot potato aud ran for the
house. He was brought to Daubury,
and DIR. Lemmer sewed up the lid. 1t
was close call for the eye which
would have been dear rainy days
experience for Tommy.
